How do you identify the independent and dependent variables

A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends upon an independent variable. A dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment and or evaluated in a mathematical equation. And you can identify an independent variable pretty easily since its variation does not depend on another.

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
